The days are getting noticeably shorter. It's a little after 8 p.m. as I write this, and our yard is already dark.
I fixed us a cornbread salad for supper tonight. It was tasty. We had four wedges of box-mix cornbread left over from a few days ago. I cut it into 1" cubes, put it on an oiled cookie sheet, and toasted it in the oven at 400 degrees for 10 minutes. They came out perfect. In a bowl, I cut up a couple of green onions, about 3 tomatoes, half of a peeled and seeded cucumber, a pimiento pepper and a cuban pepper, and dumped a can of drained & rinsed chili beans in with it. Oh, and some crumbled bacon. Tossed it all together with the cornbread. Most of the cornbread salad recipes called for putting rand dressing on the salad, but we just dressed ours on our plates.
After supper, The Husband went down to the shop at Nanny's to put a new battery on the lawnmower. While he did that, I cut the okra. Got a LOT. Picked a few tomatoes and peppers and green beans. We'll probably give most of it to co-workers.
By the time I got the okra cut, it was too dark to do anything else.
The butterbeans have lice/aphids. They need to be sprayed and watered good. The weatherman is predicting rain for the next few days, more likely as the week rolls on. I'm going to spray the butterbeans tomorrow and see if Mother Nature will take care of the watering.
